Microsoft PowerPoint is now available on the iPhone and iPad, making it easier than ever for professionals to create and share presentations. The app is free to download from the App Store and features a variety of new features, including support for vertical slideshows. The vertical format makes it easy to see all of your slides at once, no matter how wide your screen is. You can also use the app’s built-in speaker to share your presentations with others. And if you need help creating a presentation, Microsoft offers a range of tutorials and support materials. With Microsoft PowerPoint on iPhone & iPad, you can easily create professional presentations that will impress your audience. ..
PowerPoint has been available on phones and tablets for years, but it still doesn’t have all the same features as the Windows and Mac apps. Another feature is now on the way: portrait slides.
Microsoft announced in a blog post, “with a shift towards mobile-first content creation, we have heard from many of you that you prefer to do so in Portrait mode. Based on your feedback, We have added the capability to switch and in and out of Portrait mode when both creating and editing slides!”
Starting with version 2.68 (Build 22112003) of the Office app, which is currently in testing with Office Insiders, PowerPoint now has an “orientation” toggle that can switch between landscape and portrait. You can edit slides as normal in either orientation, though you might need to move elements around after changing the setting, especially if you modify the template.
It’s probably not likely that you’ll need to give a presentation in vertical format, unless your office or school has a fancy rotating TV. However, the option could come in handy for creating banner images, or exporting a presentation to a video that is easier to read on mobile devices.
The feature still can’t quite match PowerPoint on desktop, which allows you to change the presentation dimensions to just about any size, but it’s helpful nonetheless. Microsoft hasn’t said when it will be rolled out to everyone on mobile.
